Egg laying mammals. Platypus look very different from the echidna though and are, of course, an aquatic animal. They are a shy animal and it was a very special treat to see one when I was a child.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>ClaireClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293118986621010393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8477480.post-1136477761230319692006-01-06T03:16:00.000+11:002006-01-06T03:16:00.000+11:00He's great and I love the colours in the photos to...He's great and I love the colours in the photos too!
